Finally can wear it

I bought a tank top 6 years ago when I was pregnant from the Lineman rodeo Jake and my brother were competing in and have never been able to wear it. I figured one day when I have a boy I can wear it, finally the day has come that I can sport it. It says "Apprentice under construction." If I haven't told you already I am really excited to be having a baby boy soon. Jake needs a little buddy to work on bikes and get dirty with. I have my 3 shopping partners so it evens out hahaha.I am 22 weeks pregnant now. Thank you Talia for picking your nose at the right time.

Talia's first dentist visit

Talia had her first dentist appointment today and she did really well. She was a little unsure at first then went with the flow. The dentist counted her teeth and did a cleaning on them. Sad to say she does have a problem with one of her teeth but it was not from brushing and she will have to come back for another visit.
When she left she got a balloon sunglasses, tooth brush and a braclet....

Today my Jaja was laid to rest next to my Babcia. I had a hard day thinking about him and how I was not able to go to Chicago. I tried to make it work but everything was working against me. My Cocia was able to take some pictures for me of the grave site and the outside ceremony.

Here is my babcia and jaja's children. It's kind of neat that I will have 3 girls and 1 boy just like they did.

Here is my mom and dad with my uncle Ricky and cousin Eric.

Here is were they are bringing Jaja to the burial site. My father, uncle Ricky, uncle Glen and uncle Greg are carring him.

My family is saying their goodbye's to a wonderful father, husband, grandfather, greatgrandfather, uncle and friend. When you look closely at the picture you can see a lady wearing a pink blazer and I was taken back because she looks just like my Babcia.

The priest is speaking and my uncle and cousin are to the right side.

A tidbit of information I learned from my aunt:Let's celebrate the life of a man who at age 14 fought for his country in Poland, by age 16 was in a German concentration camp, who legally immigrated to the U.S. (leaving his family behind) to start a new life; started and ran his own business for 30 years, married the love of his life and raised four children

Our big 1st grader

Today was the frst day of school for our big first grader Jessica. She did really well with getting up this morning and getting dressed by herself and eating her breakfast. Last year was a fight every morning to get up and get dressed, everything was always too tight or she wanted donuts for breakfast. Needless to say I am very impressed with her today. Joe was home so he stayed with the girls while Jessica and I headed out for her first day of school. She has a lot of her old friends from kindergarten in her class and her teacher seems really nice.

Here is our first grader! I was looking at last years picture and she has grown so much (tear here).

Jessica was able to pick out her seat for the day

This is Jessica's new teacher Ms. Woodard. When I went to pick her up from school she had so much to tell me. She loves her new teacher and was telling me all the new rules of her new class.

BOY

So after many ultrasounds and people convincing me that I am not dreaming, I proud to annouce that Jake and I will be having a BOY!

Our sweet little boy has his hand up to his face probally thinking "I'm not even out yet and my mom is taking too many pictures."

As you can see it's a boy....if you can't tell look at the arrow...hahaha

Sea World here we come again

Jake's family was in town and wanted to take a trip to Sea World so the girls got to tag along with them. It was a really nice day, not too hot and not a ton of people. The girls had a blast as usual but if they had the choice I think they would go to Disneyland over Sea World. Kaelyn was brave enough to go sit in the soak zone and she loved it.

The whale that soaked Eric and Kaelyn.
The brave souls that sat in the soak zone!

Grandpa sporting the lady magnet sun glasses. He forgot his at home so he borrowed one of the girls glasses....Only man I know that can pull it off!

Brielle and Jessica waiting to watch the Blue Horizon show.

Swim lessons

I really wanted to get the girls in to a swimming class and I really couldn't find anyone last minute so I went thru the parks and req's this year and I have to say I was very impressed. I thought it would be really okay but I really liked the instructors and not only did the kids learn to swim they learned safety as well. Kaelyn and Jessica were in the same class and there was only 2 other children in their group. After the first lesson Kaelyn was swimming under the water and loving it. Jessica knows how to swim already but I wanted her to learn more than the doggie paddle. The only hard part of the class was keeping Talia out of the water. Next year she will get her chance to swim. On their last day they got to play on the water slides. This was the first day of their class. They were so excited to get in the water.
